Ron Hervey stated that until the month of April 2021, the library has been <br />challenged with unusual numbers because of the Covid-19 pandemic impact. <br />Since the library has fully re -opened and Covid-19 restrictions have eased, all of <br />the statistical numbers have seen an improvement. Ron specifically noted that the <br />request for new library cards at 74 for the month of April 2021 was surprising <br />news and that it was an indicator that things were looking up for the library. <br />V. Friends of the Library Report <br />a. There will be two local author book signings. Mary Clark will have her book, <br />Landing in My Present on June 26, 2021 available to sign at the library. Bob <br />Austin, who's pen name is "Bob Scribe," is a local author from Blossom who <br />writes faith -based books and he will be at the library on July 17th, 2021 to <br />autograph books in his series. <br />VI. Director's Remarks <br />a. Ron Hervey stated that the Texas State Library Report was filed successfully in <br />time before the deadline. While a waiver for Degreed Librarian on Staff was <br />required this year, it was acceptable because Ron expects to have a new Library <br />Director by the end of June, so there is no danger of losing the accreditation. <br />b. Ron also informed the board that Grayson Path wants to begin having monthly <br />staff meetings. This has been done in the past and Mr. Path would like to do this <br />again. The meetings will be held every 3rd Tuesday of the month, since all the <br />part-time staff will be present during this time. <br />The next meeting will be on June 16th 2021. <br />Adjournment: The meeting was adjourned at 4:35 p.m. <br />Submitted by <br />Jennifer Cullum, Secretary <br />
